I used MasterCook for years until it no longer would run on Mac’s OS. So I got MacGourmet because everyone said it was as good as MasterCook. Well, it is not. It’s cumbersome and doesn’t do anything as well as MasterCook. If you have never used MasterCook you may not be disappointed with MacGourmet because you won’t realize what a truly good recipe software program is like. Very disappointed. I’m only giving it one star because there is no way to give it No Stars.

I tried out MacGourmet Deluxe (MGD) along with ShopNCook Menu (SNCM), Sous Chef (SC) and Yummy Soup (YS).
All of them are fine programs and MGD, SC and YS are a pleasure to use. SNCM, while highly functional, is really the Mac version of a Windows program and if you’re seeking the Mac “look and feel” and some of the advantages of the Mac OS, you won’t find them there.
MGD has a number of features the other two do not, including nutritional analysis, meal planning integrated into iCal, the incorporation of some very useful cooking references into the Help files, cookbook assembly and publishing and an elegant file import process.
It’s not that the competing programs are “bad,” they’re certainly not. It’s just that MGD is better.

I received this software yesterday and began playing with it right out of the box. I had a question about downloading recipes from websites, so I contacted the support email address with my question and received a response with the correct fix within 7 MINUTES! I was very impressed. I am still getting my feet wet with the software but it seems to do everything claimed in the description. Mapping the nutrition info is a little time consuming but I expected that. Overall I am very excited with the product.

I have been using the trial version after switching from PC to Mac. On PC I used Living Cookbook and was very happy. I also looked at Big Oven and it too looked great. Neither are available for Mac. One key use of this is for nutritional analysis and Macgourmet does NOT analyse. It has the database, but does not divide units. So, if I make a cake using 1/2 cup of sugar, it calculates that as 1 cup of sugar, because that is what is in the database. This is not evident until you start looking into some dubious nutritional data that comes up with your recipes.
The rest of the program seems fine, but I would not recommend the nutritional software and I would certainly not consider or recommend buying it as an ‘extra’.
